However, this reveal was pretty shocking for the few that could follow along. The marketing included one of the most impactful character deaths in the game combined with an end of the world drop. Come on guys - leave a little plot for the playthro

When looking at the houses and military buildings in Aurora from a distance – or from the Sanctuary map – fans may notice that many of them look just like boots! This may be a way to indicate how poor the region is (i.e. living in a sh

BW: It’s pretty cool. We’ve been working on this for years now, ever since Mark Doyle floated the idea to me at a convention. For years I haven’t been able to tell anyone what we were working on. Now I can. So what’s it like? It’s a big relief. I’m very happy DC went along with the idea to pick the numbering up at 151, to signal that this is a continuation of the long-running series. It’s not a side-story, it’s the main story, www.advgamer.cc which just happens to be continuing after a protracted br

So he pitches Santa on the idea of forming their own super team. Many elves have powers that are similar to the superpowers of Earth's Greatest Super Heroes, so why not enter the good fight with a team of their own? Unfortunately, Santa shoots down the idea, but that doesn’t stop Arvo. It just means that he has to prove his concept by running away to join the Justice League, and show everyone that his plan is a good one and he’s not a crazy-elf. His idea is sound. That’s the set-up and the story takes off from th

Allowing players to recruit enemies could open up for something that MGS5 delved slightly into, but never really got the most out of, outside of a few required missions. An additional risk and reward to consider with taking ex-terrorists like Demens especially, could be the opportunity for these enemies to betray the player. This can either cause an upset that the player then has to head out to and address, or create an entirely new narrative within Death Stranding , where Sam is tasked with finding this person and bringing them b

While the changes to gameplay have been welcomed by fans as years have gone on, the long introduction and slow starting story have been a thorn in the sides of many die-hards since it first came out in 2

Not only does Albion share a name with Britain, but it also seems to share history as well! During a quest from Fable III, the player enters a house in the Bowerstone Old Quarter with a bunch of little exhibits on display. It's part of the quest "The Pen is Mightier..." but if you take a moment to look around, you'll notice a brain in a jar labeled "Lady Jane Gr

A man named Meredith Sock writes some books which the player can find in Fable II. His novels are detested throughout Albion, with some choice book titles including (but unfortunately not limited to): "Cold Lips," "Norm and Aggie," "Objection! Overruled!," "Megafowl: The Sword is Mightier than the Hen," and "Megafowl 2: Revenge of the H

The current system for gearing up for a delivery in Death Stranding already feels like it's been stripped straight out of MGS5 , with a blank void to prepare weapon, vehicle, and additional equipment loadouts. It's a great way for players to get ready for missions and adventures through Metal Gear Solid 's open world , and translates perfectly into attempting to travel through dystopian America. However, one benefit that MGS5 has over Death Stranding in this way is that the player has more control over what they can bring thanks to the ability to research and develop their own g

Given the systems present in Death Stranding , as well as the overarching narrative of connecting the world and connecting with others, any character interactions should be given the chance to have positive effects. Even the incentive not to kill the Mules and Demens that try to kill or stop the player could be maximized on with the ability to recruit them, though there may be a give and take with some of them. Then, aside from the new ways that this could allow for NPC interactions, recruitment could completely remake the development of new gear in Death Stranding

On top of a newly revamped R&D system, being able to recruit enemies in Death Stranding could give players an added incentive to intentionally head into Mule and Demens territory. There's currently the benefit of being able to find gear and materials within those areas, but there is a point in the game where it becomes easier to simply find or make alternate routes around the enemies. So, giving players the ability to run into these enemy camps and pull a handful out to be recruited into Bridges could make the world of Death Stranding feel more alive and like the player's actions have more eff

BW: For the Fables side of things the line doesn’t need to be drawn, because Fables has included the premise of all of these hundreds of different worlds from the very beginning. From Batman’s point of view, it’s potentially a bit trickier, because sometimes the DCU has been very open to the notion of many, many worlds out there, and sometimes it hasn’t b
